#Concealed In #Death" by the great J.D. Robb

I love Eve and Roarke! I'm looking forward to reading this one.

"In a decrepit, long-empty New York building, Lieutenant Eve Dallas’s
husband begins the demolition process by swinging a sledgehammer into a
wall. When the dust clears, there are two skeletons wrapped in plastic
behind it. He summons his wife immediately—and by the time she’s done
with the crime scene, there are twelve murders to be solved.

The
place once housed a makeshift shelter for troubled teenagers, back in
the mid-2040s, and Eve tracks down the people who ran it. Between their
recollections and the work of the force’s new forensic anthropologist,
Eve begins to put names and faces to the remains. They are all young
girls. A tattooed tough girl who dealt in illegal drugs. The runaway
daughter of a pair of well-to-do doctors. They all had their stories.
And they all lost their chance for a better life.

Then Eve
discovers a connection between the victims and someone she knows. And
she grows even more determined to reveal the secrets of the place that
was called The Sanctuary—and the evil concealed in one human heart."
